This time last year we finished our project of re-vamping our website. It’s remarkable to think in these past 12 months we have reached 100,000 visitors!! We felt the need last year our site needed upgrading. Listening to customer feedback one issue with the old site was poor navigation. With new product categories, drop down menus and related products, we feel we have achieved our aim of making the site user friendly and easy to navigate. Another change to the site was giving easy access to our customers to download/print, Technical Data Sheets and Material Safety Data Sheets. Whether they are used for product info, audits, health & safety checks etc. all our products data sheets are made readily available for your convenience! Here’s hoping in 12 months time we will have doubled our visitors to 200,000!!

The Top-to-Bottom Tractor Run started yesterday. This arduous journey on a 1955 vintage tractor will start at John’O’Groats and finish at Lands End, with an aim of raising as much money possible for the Y.O.U. (Young Oncology Unit) at The Christie Hospital and Research Centre in Manchester. Fred and his team have been brought together by tragic circumstances and have a common goal to raise huge amounts of money to give to the Y.O.U, to help other cancer sufferers.

Going at a speed of 10/12mph the journey will take two weeks to complete. The two weeks will consist of two stages each day with a different driver for the tractor on each stage. It costs a donation of £100 to drive the tractor and there are still a few spots are available for people to take part! To donate or find out more about Fred, his team and the cause go to www.top-to-bottom-tractor-run.co.uk
